i think where mayo will find the going tough is if they loose to galway in the championship ,the path back to an all ireland final through the qualifiers and then the super 8s may be a bridge too far considering they are picking from a small squad with lot of miles on the clock

This seems a lot different. I suspect even we don’t realize the damage we’ve done to them, especially with last year’s win.

The fact that there’s fcuk all else out there will keep them in the hunt. But that today was psychotic stuff. Absolutely all over the place. Stupid. Petulant. Childish.

People have been saying those sort of things about them since they lost the 2013 final. They ain’t going anywhere. They’ll pull out a performance the next day, and will target the Galway game in summer. They won’t care too much if they go down in the league though will expect to do enough to stay above the Lillies and Monaghan. Galway might be in that scramble too.

Yeah, last year they looked done, poor in the league and only scraping past poor teams in the championship. Yet somehow they have always seemed to be able to raise their performance when it comes to playing the big teams. Someday they are going to go the well and it will be dry and I suspect that will be someday soon, but until it actually happens I’m not going to write them off.

Well , it’s like this . They needed alot of games through the qualifiers to get going until the replay against Roscommon. They’ll have that with the super 8s. Don’t forget they were missing a few lads today . It’s apparent now how important Leeroy is to the team . I expect results to pick up once he’s back .

He’s vital to them but I think the wait of carrying them for so long is beginning to tell. I know he’s had injuries this year but he wasn’t as effective last year as he was in 2016 and judging by his interview with kilbane I don’t think he’s that confident he’s over his injuries. Referenced how he wants to have a decent quality of life after playing so I think the injury may be more serious than I first thought. Hopefully I’m reading it wrong but I found it strange him referencing that

I think he’s just enjoying a break more than anything else . Something he’s probably not had & don’t forget Westport got to the final as well last year . So it’s probably a novelty to him ATM been away from football.

You can’t be writing off a team in the 2nd week of February when they are missing 7 players that started the All Ireland final last year especially when they aren’t even training together as a collective unit as the majority are based in Dublin and don’t travel back this time of the year.

Mayo are rightfully the 2nd best team in the country over the last few years. Yes they did ride their luck last year but they will be there or there abouts come the end of Summer as us, them and Kerry and pulling away from the rest by a considerable distance.
